The sultan added that Pang’s act was a “serious” infringement of the sanctity of the mosque, and threatened the position of Islam in the state.

Adding that mosques are off-limits to partisan politics, he said action would be taken against those who are involved in such infringements.

He said he was invited to enter the mosque after his allocation was announced, adding that he had earlier been sitting outside with the other non-Muslims.

He added that he had not even taken a group picture with anyone during that event.

During Pakatan Harapan’s time in the opposition, he added, they had always reminded the Barisan Nasional government not to let mosques be used as a platform for political speeches, which was in line with his own views.

Pakai pakaian hormat sikit bro...Haiz!!!? For those who are too lazy to read. 'He said he was INVITED to enter the mosque after his allocation was announced, adding that he had earlier been sitting outside with the other non-Muslims.: SIAPA YG POLITIKKAN? Padahal masjid tu yang jemput dia masuk.. macam tu lah mereka junjung wakil mereka... tapi dipolitikkan seorang can macai2 dia

Best advice to get his Muslim staff to represent him on his donation issue. PERIOD. No controversy! Rm1k pun nak umum... This may give negative message to non-Muslim if it’s not clarified properly. Why the good deed of the MP was not mentioned? No need to enter the mosque

cina makan babi !!! Hahahaha, caught in the act la. If you want to announce, cannot do it outside of the mosque ke? Liar dap. Non muslim MP should stay away from the mosque. It is a no win situation. The goodness of good intention is not worth the anger and the misunderstanding if there is any. Stay away, it is not worth it. Too many issues waiting to pound.

it is certain people try to paint negative pictures and to make it a religious issue. It is good intentions to provide allocation.
